The clear plastic piece sticking out of the top of the detector is what's used to report laser and it requires line of sight or a very strong bounce to accurately detect. I haven't seen it tested explicitly, but the location where you mount the R8 will greatly affect the laser reporting. Too low or too high on the windshield might drastically drop the sensor's rear visibility. All that said, because laser determines your speed in about 1/3 of a second, it would be unlikely for you to avoid any speeding ticket that would come from an R8 laser report **Q: Do it work with the waze app?** A: It does not have the capability of connecting to the Waze app. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ DO NOT PURCHASE FOR EU & UK USE *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 July 2026* ***** DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE USA OR CANADA *****It does not work AT ALL. No detection in the UK or Europe AT ALL totally USELESS ### ⭐ UK useless *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 August 2025* Don't buy this in the UK ,I contacted Uniden in the States after buying an R8W on Amazon US only to be told it is not intended for use in the UK the data bases are America and Canada only ,where most of the speed traps are radar based on K and Ka band Here in the UK laser is the most preferred weapon of revenue ,for which this or any other device is pretty much useless ,so if you want to risk a term in an HM prison the only effective tool is a laser jammer The British police are way ahead of the curve on traffic revenue enforcement ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the price. *by on Reviewed in the United States 25 October 2022* This review is for the UNIDEN R8 radar laser detector. I have only had it for a few days. I read reviews on it falling off the windshiled. Mine came with 2 mounts. One of the mounts does look flimsy. It looks like my expensive unit will fall off if i use it. It did come with another mount that looks like I would have trouble removing it. I highly doubt this mount will fall off. It has a button so it can clip on and off the mount with ease. I'll problaby buy another of those mounts for my other car. So I used it to go to work. This thing was going off the whole entire time. Some people say you can tweak it. I will look into that later. For now I never read the instructions I just threw it on the wind shield. On day 3 the device memorized the false alarms. It still lets you know there is a frequency being detected but it grayes it out and no sound. So I was cruising to work the thing was quiet. All of a sudden it goes off I slow down. Im mad there is nothing. I want to return it. Then all of a sudden I see a hidden P car trying to catch speeders. On that road the fine is 350. I would have gotten caught for sure. So I already see it as 350 off. Like I said I never read the manual it was plug and play. It learned what was fake and it alerted me to what was real. Another feature I like is it tells you where the radar is. It was beeping showing ahead I never saw anything I just wanted to return it. Then it said it was on my left side. I looked and OMG on my left side behinid the barrels was an SUV just waiting to catch me. I also like that it shows your speed in digital format. My car has a needle speedometer. I dont look at that anymore. I just look at the R8. Its right on and accurate. This thing is pricey. In its defence I just took it out of the box and plugged it in. Like things should be. So yes i'm willing to pay a premium for something that simply works out of the box. Reviews did say that the LCD screen dies out so I bought the insurance just in case. In comes with a thin sleeve to protect it as well as a sturdy case. For now its 5 stars. I bought a unit before from another brand that required conection to my phone access to my contacts and gps and the whole nine yards. My car looked like a cockpit of an F16 i could not see anything out of the windshield. Im not sure if this thing has an app. I dont want an app and you do not need one. Plug and play its that simple. Just be warned the thing is a cry baby for the first few days as it learns what is real and what isnt. ## Frequently Bought Together - UNIDEN R8 Extreme Long-Range Radar/Laser Detector, Dual-Antennas Front & Rear Detection w/Directional Arrows, Built-in GPS w/Real-Time Alerts, Voice Alerts, Red Light Camera,Speed Camera Alerts,Black - Xislet 16.5" Radar Detector Hardwire Power Cord Mirror Wire Plug Tap Compatible with Escort Valentine One Uniden Beltronics with Inline Fuse Mount RJ11 - Set of 3 - SDSACZMU Radar Detector Mount, Rearview Mirror Rod Radar Mounting Base, Suitable for Uniden Radar Models --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/454485323-r8-extreme-long-range-radar-laser-detector-dual-antennas-front](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/454485323-r8-extreme-long-range-radar-laser-detector-dual-antennas-front) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
